and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of
injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot
start up accidentally. Ensure that the
electric tool is switched off before you
connect it to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry
the tool. If your fi nger is on the switch whilst
carrying the electric tool or if you connect the
appliance to the mains when it is switched on,
this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before
switching on the electric tool. A tool or
key which comes into contact with rotating
parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures.
Make sure you stand squarely and
keep your balance at all times. In this
way, you can control the electric tool better in
unexpected circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewel-
lery or long hair can get trapped in moving
parts.
g) If vacuuming devices and draining
devices can be fi tted, make sure that
these are correctly attached and cor-
rectly used. The use of a dust extraction
system can reduce the danger posed by dust.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric
tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use
the correct tool for your work. You will
be able to work better and more safely within
the given performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a de-
fective switch. An electric tool that cannot
be switched on or off is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/
or remove the battery before making
any adjustments to the appliance,
changing accessories or put the appli-
ance down. This safety measure prevents
starting the electric tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow people
who are not familiar with the appli-
ance or who have not read these ins-
tructions to use the appliance. Electric
tools are dangerous if they are used by inex-
perienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully.
Check whether moving parts are
functioning properly and not jam-
ming, whether parts are broken or
damaged enough that the functioning
of this electric tool is affected. Have
damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance. Many accidents are caused
by badly maintained electric tools.
f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and
clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges will jam less and are ea-
sier to control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, ac-
cessories, attachments, etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions. Take
the conditions in your work area and
the job in hand into account. Using
electric tools for any purpose other than the
one for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only
by trained personnel using only genu-
ine spare parts. This will ensure that your
electric tool remains safe to use.
